I just got the G4. I've been nothing but iPhone since they came out.
1) Is there any way, when your phone display is off, to have notifications appear? Right now it just vibrates and i have to double click the screen to get it to wake up. I want to be able to just see if it's something i need to address or i can wait.
2) Chrome browser: are there any gestures to go forward and back between pages?
3) what is daydream? I have it enabled, but my phone is currently plugged in and asleep but don't see the clock, which is what I thought i should see according to the settings.
TIA

Download light manager and you can change the color of your LED to let you know what kind of notification it is. Missed call, text, black people meet, etc...

My phone wakes for text. Are you using the stock SMS app? Download textra. Your welcome.

Also, I love Textra but there are still a few bugs with Swiftkey.
I like both apps to much to change even if it crashes the app from time to time.

I use Notific Pro. It works well for email, in particular. If your phone is locked and sitting on the table, when you pick it up, you can get the gist of who is emailing and the subject without having to unlock the phone. Then the screen goes dark again in a few seconds if you don't care to open it. I'm using K9 email, if that matters.
For messages, I just use the stock program... and for this, regretably, it only indicates "new message". Don't know if it would be different if I used Textra, Hangouts or other texting programs, or if I didn't set something up correctly, but being responsive to texts is less of a concern for me than work email, so this works well for me.
There's a free version... I don't remember if ad based or if it's just limited functionality, but maybe worth testing before you splurge for Pro.
There are other apps which similarly display notifications on the screen. If you don't care for this one, search on the Playstore for apps that have to do with notifications, lock screen, etc.
